NOTE 

Remember, reader, the descriptions of the Organs that are given in this 
book only show what credit you can give to the Organs when reading Com¬ 
binations. Without the use of Combinations a great deal of a man’s disposi¬ 
tion can not be told. The learning of the value of the Organ as given in this 
book must first be learned before you can read Combinations. 

The reason I have repeated these facts various times in this book, is be¬ 
cause Phrenology is as yet a new study ; it is only in its childhood state and 
therefore is so easily misunderstood and denounced by many who do not 
understand this Science.

P HRENOLOGY, being a science like all other studies, is 
always open for improvement. I have made it a life study, 
including other authorities which were needed to make the new 
discoveries which I have made. I have thus made a life study 
of Phrenology, Hypnotism and Modern Spiritualism. 

There are a great many men in the world who denounce 
the Science of Phrenology, but we remember that there were 
people who laughed at the idea of putting up a telegraph wire. 
Some said we might as well try to build a railroad up to the 
moon. When the printing press first came into use it was called 
the devil’s press, while many other inventions are commonly so 
treated to-day. When a new discovery is made there is always 
a class of people ready to say, “it is the work of the devil.” 

Phrenology is not a new science; it has been practiced for 
some time among the Indians, there being an Indian tribe 
which knew some of the benefits of Phrenology before America 
was discovered, for the Indians were already making use of it 
when the white man came to them. There is no history of its 
advent among the Indians. 

Phrenology has not been discovered by one man, for while 
some one discovered one organ, another individual discovered 
other organs. I claim to have discovered some organs which 
other writers have misconstrued. Remember, reader, I do not 
claim to know all that can be learned about Phrenology; I am 
going to write the discoveries which I have made up to the 
present time. 

Almost every man in the world has his way of judging people. 
One will judge them by their walk, another will judge them by 


2 




their talk. Some people are Palmists; others can read a man 
by the expression of his face, while some judge by the eyes. 
Thus every individual has his way of judging his fellow-man. 
I, as well as the rest, have my way of judging. I judge by the 
brain, by the science called Phrenology, and I think it the only 
proper way. 

By the shape of the head and the development of the brain, I 
can readily tell the disposition of a man. I do not say it is 
impossible to tell the disposition of a man by those small lines 
that are in the palm of his hand; neither do I assert that a man’s 
disposition cannot be told by his walk, or his talk, or by the ex¬ 
pression of his face, for nature paints its course. If the brain 
is developed for a thief, the expression of the face, as well as 
the walk will show it. As I have said before, nature paints its 
course. The brain must first be developed to a certain point 
before the expression of the body will manifest it. My exper¬ 
ience is, that, after giving a chart, the individual develops his 
brain. The brain being developed, the expression of the face 
as well as the manner of walk changes. 

As almost every human being takes pleasure in judging 
others, I think the best plan is to study the Science of Phren¬ 
ology. Remember, I do not say there is no such art as Palm¬ 
istry, because I am not an adherent of the class of people who 
study in it, neither do I claim that there is no such thing as judg¬ 
ing a man by his breathing when he is asleep, for thieves often 
judge people by the way they breathe when asleep, yet I will 
say this: judging by the brain is far superior to all other forms of 
judging people. Experience has taught me that the disposition 
must first be present in the brain before the expression will be 
visible on the body.

EXPLANATION OF CHART 

This edition describes each one of the Organs in five differ¬ 
ent degrees, as follows: Very large, Large, Average, Small, 
Very small. The examiner may place a figure “1” for Very 
large, “2” for Large, “3” for Average, etc.; or he may put a 
cross fx) in the margin opposite the words “Very large”, 
“Large”, “Average”, etc., according to the size of the Organ 
of the head which is being examined. Should an Organ of the 
head that is being examined be between two degrees, as be¬ 
tween “Large” and “Very large”, the examiner should mark 
both degrees, indicating somewhat stronger than “Large” and 
not quite as strong as “Very Large”. 

To know what Organs should be cultivated and those that 
need to be restrained, the letter “C” for Cultivate and the let¬ 
ter “R” for Restrain, might be used.

This cut shows the forty-one Organs of the head as indicated by the 
lines, except those of Language and Form. Form lies near the eyes and is 
indicated by a line, thus (—). Language is situated about the eye and is 
described as follows: When the Organ is large it shoves the eyeball for¬ 
ward, thus making it possible to judge the size of this Organ by the pro¬ 
tuberance of the eye.

I. THE TRUTH OF PHRENOLOGY. 


The question often arises — is there any truth in Phrenol¬ 
ogy? Why should there not be? In a crowd of ten thousand 
people, how many heads are to be found alike? If then, the 
heads are differently shaped, why should not that have some¬ 
thing to do with the different intelligences of men? Have you 
ever noticed the difference in muscles on the arms of different 
men? Does not that show that one man is stronger than 
another? Take a man who can lift a heavy load and another 
who cannot and notice if the muscles of the one man are not 
developed differently from those of the other. If then, differ¬ 
ent muscles indicate different degrees of strength, why should 
not different shaped heads indicate different degrees of intelli¬ 
gence? If using the arm will develop a muscle, why cannot 
an organ grow when it is used? Therefore, if the organ will 
grow when it is used and lessen when it is not used, the study 
of Phrenology is useful, for through it a man may see his 
own faults and be able to cultivate the small organs and 
diminish the large ones. 

What a value the study of Phrenology is to a mother while 
she is raising her children, giving her every chance to develop 
them to the culture they ought to have. What a help it is 
when you see children’s faults to know how to remedy them. 
Could a man find a study of more importance while he is 
raising his family, and coming in contact with men almost 
every day of his life? Certainly the use of Phrenology is 
always helpful. 

If a child is in the habit of telling lies and enjoys telling 
them, then that organ in the head is large, and the more the 
child lies the larger the organ will grow, and the larger the 
organ grows the more the child will lie. When the organ 
is pointed out to the child, and the child ceases to tell lies, 

9 


the organ will diminish. We will take the organ of combative¬ 
ness, for example; if it is extremely small, the man is a 
coward and has not courage enough to take his own part; 
should a man, being informed that he is weak in that respect, 
begin to develop that organ, he would soon gain courage. 
Think what a help that would be to a man that did not have 
courage enough to take his own part, if in a short time, he 
could develop that organ, freeing him from his cowardly 
feeling. But if Combativeness is too large, the man would be 
getting into trouble all the time, which would be a burden to 
himself and his neighbors. Should the man be informed of 
his extremely large combativeness he could diminish the organ 
easily by stopping his fighting and quarreling, which would be 
a help to his neighbor and himself. Often while giving exam¬ 
inations I have come in contact with old gray-headed men who 
have made this remark: " If I had known that years ago it 

would have saved me hundreds of dollars and a great deal of 
trouble.” 


10 


II. THE TIME REQUIRED TO DEVELOP AN ORGAN. 


Through many years of experience and observation, I have 
discovered that certain organs can be developed in a child 
when it begins to play, to the extent of two degrees in three 
weeks, providing you play with the child in the proper way. 
Of course, to develop an organ of a child to the extent of 
two degrees in three weeks, one must play with the child 
continually whenever it is awake. Reason will teach a man 
that to develop an organ in a child that cannot talk is very 
difficult. The organs develop the same as the muscles of the 
arm; if the child uses its arm the muscle will develop, but if 
the child does not use its arm the muscles will diminish; so 
also the organs of the head will grow when they are used, 
and as the organ grows the skull will expand; but if the child 
stops exercising, the organ will diminish. 

For a young man eighteen years old it takes on an average 
of three years to develop an organ. Some will develop in 
six months or a year, while others again need four or five 
years; it all depends on how much the organ is used. A 
man can develop one organ and diminish another, providing 
he gives it the proper treatment. 

A man at the age of twenty-five needs, on the average, five 
years to develop an organ. In some men an organ will develop 
sooner than in others, the same as a man at the age of 
eighteen; it depends on what treatment the organ gets. The 
skull will expand but very little in a man at the age of twenty- 
five or thirty, for the organ will develop under the skull. 
With a man at the age of forty-five or fifty who wishes to 
develop an organ the skull will not expand or contract enough 
that a change can be noticed; the organ will develop under 
the skull but very little. To make it possible for one organ 
to develop under the skull another one will diminish so as to 


11 


give room for the one that is developing. Man at the age of 
fifty will almost always develop one organ while diminishing 
another or diminish one while he develops another, the same 
as with the muscles of the arm; when the arm is used the 
muscles will grow but when the arm is quiet the muscles will 
diminish. Then the question may arise — what benefit of 
Phrenology has a man at the age of fifty? The problem is 
very easy when once understood. For instance, a man is ex¬ 
tremely large in Firmness which makes him stubborn, even 
too stubborn for his own good; if he should be informed of 
his fault and he is satisfied that he is wrong, that would take 
off one quarter of the burden; and when a difficulty arises, 
the first thing he thinks of is his fault, and for the reason of 
knowing his fault he will naturally fight against it, taking off 
one quarter more, which leaves him but one half of the burden 
he at first had. 


12 


III. RULES FOR FINDING THE ORGANS. 


The rule for finding the Organs is a hard one to state. 
Take for instance the Organ of Cautiousness. On many 
heads Cautiousness is found three inches and a half from the 
center of the ear; then, again, I have seen heads in such a 
shape that the Organ was not more than two inches from the 
center of the ear; therefore, it is hard to give a definite rule 
for finding the Organs. The only rule I can give is to take 
the Organs in rotation; the Organs are always in the proper 
places, in rotation, but not always the same distance from each 
other; for example, Amativeness, Parental Love, Inhabitive- 
ness, Continuity, Self-esteem and Firmness all come in rota¬ 
tion on every man’s head, but the distance from Amativeness 
to Firmness is not always the same. So the best rule that I 
can give is, take them in rotation and judge the distance 
according to the size of the head. 

In the study of Phrenology the Organs can very easily be 
located after a little practice, although the heads may be of a 
different size or shape. 

First of all, get the Organs well fixed in your memory so 
that you are able to draw a head, without a copy, with all the 
Organs in their proper places, then it is not hard to locate the 
organs on the different shaped and different sized heads. It is 
not so difficult to locate an organ and learn what it is for, but 
the mystery of Phrenology is to tell which organ rules the 
body, and how to put the combination together. 


13 


IV. RULES FOR CULTIVATING AND RESTRAINING 
ORGANS. 

It is not always necessary to cultivate an organ that is 
extremely small, nor to restrain one that is very large; it 
depends on what is best for the man to follow for a living. 

Oftentimes when an Organ is average it needs to be culti¬ 
vated or restrained; it depends on how the other part of the 
head is situated, and what trade is best for the man to follow. 

In giving examinations I often find that there is an Organ 
that should be cultivated or restrained although it is neither 
very large nor very small; as I have said before, it depends 
on how the rest of the head is developed, and what is best for 
the man to follow for a living. 

Man ought first to be taught the benefit of Phrenology and 
its truth; also its laws; and the Organs should be pointed out 
clearly enough so that the man may find them on his own 
head before there is much hope of development. As long as 
a man is not convinced that there is a truth in the Science, 
he will not develop an Organ as he ought; and unless he is 
assured that there is a reality in Phrenology, he will not try 
to mend his ways. 


Note.— Remember, reader, the descriptions of the Organs that 
are given in this book only show what credit you can give 
to the Organs when reading Combinations. Without the use 
of combinations, a great deal of a man’s disposition cannot 
be told. The value of the Organs as given in this Book must 
first be learned before you can read Combinations. 

The reason I have repeated these facts various times in 
this book, is, because Phrenology is, as yet, a new study; it 
is only in its childhood state, and therefore is so easily mis¬ 
understood and denounced by many because it is a science 
they do not understand.

have any one around you who is not altogether smart; are 
abusive towards children and animals; love to tie a stone about 
the neck of a cat or dog and see it drown; enjoy to cheat 
and beat people when trading with them; care nothing for 
justice or rights; care nothing for any one else, if only you 
are all right; you abuse even your children, in order to bene¬ 
fit yourself.

18. OCCULTISM. 


18. Very Large .— Astral; a desire to investigate and talk 
on religious subjects; wanting to know something of the 
world to come; always anxious to hear some news of the 
place invisible; inquisitive to know what put this universe 
in its working order; continually wanting to find out what 
first existed in this vast volume of space; your greatest de¬ 
sire is to talk with the one who created the great mass of 
stars and planets and this endless space. 

18. Large .— You devote a great deal of your time to 
thinking of the *one who created the universe, and of what 
shape or form he might be; love to study about the laws of 
nature; are greatly interested in such subjects as: “What is 
man ? ” “ Of what is a tree composed and from whence does 
it get the various elements of which it is composed ? ” or, 
“ Why can a sweet apple twig be grafted on a sour apple tree 
and yet bear sweet apples ? ” etc.; you give a great deal of 
thought to religion. 

18. Average .— You spend a great deal of your time 
studying whether there is or is not a God, but you do 
not give the inquiry mare of your time than you can 
spare; often wonder whether there is, or is not, a creator 
who created this universe, and at times you care but little 
as to whether there is, or is not; are rather modest upon the 
subject as to whether or not there is a God. 

18. Small .— Give but little time to studying out the prob¬ 
lem as to whether or not there is a creator; give the subject 
but little thought unless you are greatly attracted by some¬ 
thing that has happened, such as an earthquake, or a piece 
of melted rock striking the earth while flying through space; 
at times you would like to know something about a God, be¬ 
cause you hear others talking about Him; perhaps the only 
time you give the subject consideration is when you are sick, 
nigh almost to death, or you are placed into some dangerous 
position, when you wonder what becomes of man when he dies. 

18. Very Small .— Think but very little as to who created 
this universe, and as to whether there is a God or not, and 
if He had any shape or form; should you ever become greatly 
excited about this question, you would perhaps give one fair 
trial to find out something about this God, but should you fail, 
you would likely not give the second or third trial ; you think 
it rather foolish to devote much thought to the question of 
Deity. 


35 


19. HOPE. 

19. Very Large. — Enterprising; will run big chances; ex¬ 
pect to foresee clearly things that are now a mystery; build 
great air-castles; undertake more than you can handle; sel¬ 
dom give up a problem, hoping to find the hidden link; if dis¬ 
appointed, you think it will be better the next time; are in 
hopes of finding out some day what created the universe, etc.; 
always living in hope of having it better after awhile. 

19. Large. — Live in hope; depend greatly on the future, 
always thinking we will learn to know some‘day; build some 
air-castles which you cannot realize; at times depend largely 
on some one to help you out; will make some great invest¬ 
ments expecting the future to turn out as you have planned; 
you do not bother your mind a great deal concerning the cre¬ 
ation of this universe because you hope to find it out later; 
you depend largely on the future to learn all things. 

19. Average. — At times depend a great deal on the fu¬ 
ture, but will try to find out at present whether you have suf¬ 
ficient resource to go through with the undertaking; do not 
wish to wait too long to find out something about the Su¬ 
preme Being, but would like to know it at present; do not 
care to depend on the future, unless you cannot do otherwise; 
do not like to depend too much on friends, but you like to ask 
them first, to see what they would do. 

19. Small. — Wish to know everything at present, do not 
want to depend on the future; as to studying the law of na¬ 
ture, you wish to solve the problem at present, for you cannot 
wait for the future; wish to know all about God at present; 
do not build air-castles; are not looking for a man to come 
across the sea and bring you a pocket full of money; do 
not think there are fish in the sea as big as were ever caught; 
always think now is the time that we ought to know. 

19. Very Small .— Build no air-castles at all; should some 
one tell you that there is a God and that some day you will 
see Him, it would not satisfy you, for you wish to see Him 
now; you do not depend on the future; never depend on any 
one to help you out; if disappointed, you think the next time 
it will be worse instead of better; you are easily led to commit 
suicide, for you cannot depend on the future to help you out; 
you can hardly believe that circumstances may be better in the 
future. 


36 


20. BENEVOLENCE. 


20. Very Large .— Goodness; kindness; enjoy giving a 
pleasant thought to every one; are kind to every one and try 
to win people with the kindness you show them; in an or¬ 
dinary conversation speak a kind word to the bitterest enemy; 
seldom say or do anything that would insult any one; are very 
careful to notice how others conduct themselves in society. 

20. Large .—Are generally kind to every one; to your bit¬ 
terest enemy you seldom give an unkind word; as a rule, 
you conduct yourself so that people will take a liking to you; 
are very careful not to say anything to insult any one; in the 
training of children, you teach them to be kind and pleasing 
to all. 

20. Average .— Can be kind and pleasant, as well as harsh 
and insulting; seldom speak a harsh word to any one you 
love, but to one whom you hate, you seldom speak a kind 
word; you do not say insulting words unless circumstances 
require it; do not always try to win people by being kind 
to them, for you think, that by being harsh and rough at 
times you can win them just as well. 

20. Small .— Seldom speak a kind word, unless it is to 
your best friends; are rather harsh in expression and care 
little what people think of your talk; are rather insulting in 
conversation and action; do not take very well in company, 
by reason of your conduct. 

20. Very Small .— Can scarcely speak a kind word to a 
friend; are always harsh in your speech; seldom think of 
what people might say of you by the way you express your¬ 
self; likely to express yourself as though you were provoked 
or as if some one had insulted you; you seem to be a little 
angry all the time; you do not at all try to conduct yourself 
properly among people so that they might take a liking to 
you; in training children you do not care how insulting they 
talk; you enjoy a harsh and insulting conversation rather 
than a kind and pleasant one. 


37 


21. IMITATION. 

21. Very Large .— Mimicry; to copy after others; are 
very efficient in copying after others; can make anything 
after a pattern; are extra good on the stage; can take almost 
any part in a play; are really an all-round man on the stage; 
can imitate and impersonate; love very much to imitate 
birds, cats, horses and animals of any kind; also in work¬ 
manship you are good in catching the idea of what others 
wish you to do and by only hearing them tell it, can make a 
thing to suit them, having no fixed rule to work by. 

21. Large.— Are fairly good in imitating anything you 
see; are a good actor on the stage, can play almost any part 
with but little practice; enjoy very well to imitate the whistling 
of birds, the bleating of sheep, the clucking of hens, etc.; 
when something is laughable, you can put on a sober face, 
pretend to be some one else, almost as well as yourself, in 
workmanship, you can make a piece of work after seeing a 
pattern, but are not very able in making what a man wishes 
by only hearing him tell it. 

21. Average.— Can imitate fairly well, after a great deal 
of practice; can act on the stage but can take some parts 
only; you are not an all-round man; at times you try to im¬ 
itate birds and animals, but do not make a very good success 
of it; do not enjoy mimicking well enough to give it much 
of your attention; in workmanship you can do well if you 
have a rule to work by, but when only seeing the pattern, 
you are not very efficient. 

21. Small — You are quite unable to imitate anything 
you see; would make a poor mimic; are no good to work on 
the stage; would need a great deal of practice to play but one 
part, and that would have to be a part fitting to you; do not 
enjoy imitating anything; in telling a story, if an imitation 
is required, you might do so, but not otherwise; also in work¬ 
manship you must have a rule to work by, for you cannot 
work without it to any advantage; are not good in making 
anything from a pattern unless you can work by a certain rule. 

21. Very Small .— Cannot imitate anything; are no good 
to work on the stage; do not even enjoy seeing an imperson¬ 
ation on the stage; have scarcely any enjoyment in that line 


38 


whatever; do not spend any of your time in trying to imitate 
birds or animals, and think it rather foolish of one who de¬ 
votes his time to such things; in workmanship you find it very 
hard to work from a pattern, even if you have a rule to work 
by; it is not necessary for you to spend any of your time try¬ 
ing to make what some one wants by simply hearing him tell 
it, and having no rule to follow. 


Note. —Remember, reader, the descriptions of the organs 
given in this book only show what credit you can give the 
organs when reading combinations. Without the use of com¬ 
binations, there is a great deal of any one’s disposition that 
cannot be told. The value of the organ as given in this book, 
must first be learned before you can read combinations. 

The reason I have mentioned these facts several times in 
this book is, because Phrenology is yet a new study; it is only 
in its infant days, and is so easily misunderstood and denounced 
by many because it is a science they do not know. 


39 


22. HUMAN NATURE. 


22. Very Large .— Perception of character; enjoy judging 
other people; are a very good judge of human nature; can 
form a good opinion of others at first sight; after you have 
been with a man for a time you can give a good history 
of him by giving your own judgment; can detect whether 
a man is a spy, and from what country he is, almost at first 
sight; you feel very safe in following your first opinion; also, 
in running for a public office you can do well, for the very 
reason that you know just how to take the people; you love 
the judging of human nature so well that you devote a great 
deal of your time to the study of it. 

22. Large .—Are a fair judge of human nature; sometimes 
fail when giving your judgment at first sight; do not feel 
altogether safe in following your first judgment, but feel like 
waiting for further evidence; you would do well in running 
for a public office or handling a crowd of people, because 
you are a good judge of others, which gives you the knowl¬ 
edge of knowing just what each one wishes and what he en- 
joys. 

22. Average .— Are a fair judge of other people, but not 
at first sight; do not feel safe in following your first judg¬ 
ment ; you always wait for further evidence; do not like to 
pass your opinion too soon, for you wish to be with the in¬ 
dividual for some time before you pass your judgment; you 
love the study of nature well enough to give it a little of your 
attention, but not much of your valuable time. 

22. Small .— Are a poor judge of human nature; are not 
safe to go according to your judgment but must always wait 
for further evidence; do not take very well among people, for 
the reason that you do not know how to treat them; give but 
little attention to the study of human nature, and care very 
little to read books that treat on that subject. 

22. Very Small .— Are no judge of human nature; cannot 
follow your own judgment at all, even if you are with the 
person for some time, for you are obliged to always wait for 
further evidence; scarcely pass your opinion about a man 
unless some one would ask what you thought, and then you 
would say as little as you possibly could; give the subject 
but very little thought, and do not enjoy reading any literature 
that treats upon the subject of human nature, and will avoid 
a conversation concerning it. 


40 


23. AGREEABLENESS. 


23. Very Large .— Pleasantness; blandness; you agree 
with every one; you can really agree with every man you 
meet, that is, you can conduct yourself in such a way 
that he is led to think you agree with him; you make 
every man happy by taking his part and agreeing with 
him; you enjoy to say “yes,” “yes,” “yes,” to every argument 
that another man puts forth, so as to make him believe that 
you agree with him even if your belief is contrary to his state¬ 
ments ; you would be a good candidate for a public office, be¬ 
cause you could agree with every one in order to gain his 
vote; even in workmanship you will do work wrong simply to 
agree with others, in order to gain their good will. 

23. Large .— You like to agree with every one, but when 
you see that it is a hindrance to you, you will oppose their 
arguments; you try to agree with all as far as possible; 
enjoy saying “yes’’ to whatever argument they put forth; 
you do not enjoy disputing a man’s word unless you cannot 
do otherwise; take well in society for the reason that you 
agree with all the people you can; likewise in workmanship. 

23. Average .— Enjoy to agree with people if it be for 
your convenience, but do not take any extra pains in gaining 
the good will of others by giving them right to what they 
say; you may give others right when you know they are 
wrong, providing gain can be made, but not otherwise; also 
in workmanship you do to please others at times, but will 
not continue to do so. 

23. Small .—Care but very little whether you agree with 
other people or not; say what you think about everything, 
and if it does not please the other party, you care but little; 
do not enjoy saying “yes” to every argument another man 
puts forth, rather say “no” and tell what you think about 
it; also in workmanship you will listen to what others have 
to say and take the best out of it, but will do the work as 
you see fit; will not do it wrong to please some one else. 

23. Very Small .— Do not care whether you agree with 
others or not; seldom think of giving them right simply to 
gain their good will; rather enjoy to disagree with a man 
than to agree with him; you are no man to run for a public 
office, for the simple reason that you do not enjoy agreeing 
with a man simply to gain his vote; also in workmanship you 
work to suit yourself and not some other man; even when 
working for a man, it is burdensome for you to do work as 
he wishes to have it done, for you do not love to satisfy others 
by agreeing with them. 


41 


24. SUBLIMITY. 

24. Very Large .— Elevation of the mind pertaining to na¬ 
ture; enjoy whatever belongs to nature, such as wild moun¬ 
tain sceneries; you love to see anything pertaining to nature 
and study its philosophy; you do not enjoy to see the imita¬ 
tion of a thing, you would rather see the original, as nature 
has formed it; , enjoy greatly to see a thunder-storm coming 
up, the lightning flash, the rain pour down and the rainbow 
across the heavens with its beautiful colors, because nature 
formed them all; love to study the laws of nature, of things 
pertaining to this earth. 

24. Large .— Greatly enjoy to see anything that pertains to 
nature; you enjoy to see the wild animals in their native 
homes; wish to see everything live according^ to its natural 
law; do not care a great deal to see the imitation of any¬ 
thing, but would rather see it natural; spend a great deal of 
your time in finding out how the different animals gather 
their food, and how the little insects go about to prepare their 
way of living, etc.; how the water rises to the clouds and then 
falls back to this earth again; love to see nature’s beauty, es¬ 
pecially what pertains to earth. 

24. Average .— Enjoy to see an animal in its native state, 
but can enjoy a good imitation as well; have some desire to 
see everything live in its natural state and native home, but 
think it all right to take it from its native home if treated 
well; enjoy to see the mountain sceneries, the lilies of the field, 
the beautiful clouds in the sky; but besides these you also 
wish to see something that was made by man. 

24. Small .— Care but little for nature’s laws and spend 
very little of your time to learn how the fish talk with each 
other and about their different ways of living; enjoy to see 
something that is made by man, such as houses, implements, 
large guns, the powerful engines, etc.; enjoy to see an imita¬ 
tion of an Indian ghost dance rather than to see it in its 
natural performance and its native home. 

24. Very Small .— You care very little to see a wild animal 
in its natural way of living and in its native home, would 
rather see it in a cage, or a good picture drawn of the object 
would suit you better; you do not care to know the laws of 
nature, do not feel like spending any time to study the sub¬ 
ject and think it rather foolish for them who do; care nothing 
about seeing a rainbow, the beautiful flashes of lightning or 
the clouds floating through the sky; would rather see a tree 
that has been hewn down and cut for use than to see it stand¬ 
ing in its natural state. 


42 


25. IDEALITY. 


25. Very Large .— Beauty; love to see things neat and 
polished, especially pertaining to art; want everything as neat 
as it can be made, and clean as it can be gotten; are tasty; 
know when something is becoming; you like to look beautiful 
even if you have to apply powder to your face; are always 
dressed neatly, and can fix your clothes so that they become 
you; are determined to have things neat and everything of the 
best, although it cost all that you earn, or more than you 
can pay for — if only you can have things grand and beautiful. 

25. Large .— Love to see things neat and clean, scrubbed 
and polished; love to have it as nice as you can afford but do 
not care to go beyond your means; love to ride in neat car¬ 
riages and live in nicely painted houses; would much rather 
live in a house that is painted neat and of grand architecture, 
but not at all comfortable in winter, than to occupy a house 
of common appearance and not of the choicest decorations, 
yet, built warm and convenient for winter; have good taste 
as to what is becoming, and will do considerable work in 
order to have things beautiful and showy. 

25. Average .— Love to have things quite neat, but will 
not overwork yourself in order to accomplish it; enjoy having 
things neat; ride in fine carriages and live in expensive houses, 
if it is not beyond your means; can content yourself when 
dressed well, also feel satisfied when dressed but ordinarily; 
you do not feel like wasting any of your valuable time in pol¬ 
ishing and cleaning some unnecessary thing. 

25. Small .— Care little for polished work that makes but 
an outward show; enjoy having things convenient and not so 
dressy, rather than inconvenient and have them neat and 
dressy; have not much taste to dress becomingly; seldom no¬ 
tice how one is dressed, how many rings were on the hands, 
which ring had a diamond set, etc.; waste very little of your 
time in polishing unnecessary things. 

25. Very Small .— Do not care for beauty whatever; value 
a horse by what he is worth for labor ; and not for his beauty; 
care nothing for fixing up your premises unless compelled to; 
you look at the convenience of a thing, not at its show and 
beauty; waste no time at all in polishing unnecessary things, 
and think it rather foolish for them who do. 


43 


26 . MIRTHFULNESS. 


26. Very Large .— Jocoseness; wit; fun; love to tell ev¬ 
erything in a joking way; are very jolly in a conversation; 
people enjoy hearing you talk from the way you conduct your 
language; you can tell a solemn story in a joking way; when 
in a crowd, you are the life of the society, all are likely to 
wait and see what you have to say; can make fun on solemn 
occasions. 

26. Large .— Are rather witty and jolly; take well in so¬ 
ciety for the reason of telling things in a jolly way; should 
you happen to be unfortunate in any way and tell of it, you 
would tell it in a jolly way; though ever so broken-hearted, 
you would not show it in your conversation; you can take a 
sad person, and with a little jovial conversation cheer him up; 
love to read and sing comic songs, etc. 

26. Average .— You are jolly at times and again you are 
not; you can tell a joke as well as a solemn story, if you wish; 
the remark is often made concerning you, “ Why, he was so 
jolly the other day; what makes him so quiet now?” 

26. Small .— Are not jovial in your conversations and 
seldom tell a joke; if you should tell a funny story it would 
appear solemn when you told it; always seem to be down¬ 
hearted, consequently you do not take very well in society. 

26. Very Small .— Are not jolly enough to tell a joke 
though you try very hard; you are likely to make people feel 
downhearted while talking with them, because of your solemn 
conversation; you could work on the stage to take the sol¬ 
emn part of a play to make the people feel downhearted and 
discouraged; you do not take well in society, by the reason of 
your sober conversation. 


44 


27. CONSTRUCTIVENESS. 


27. Very Large. — Ingenuity in the handling of tools; you 
make an excellent mechanic as far as the using of tools is con¬ 
cerned ; you can handle tools to great advantage without much 
practice; it is easy for you to handle machinery without much 
experience ; you like to give all your attention to the study 
of mechanical appliances; it comes natural for you to make 
things; you love to be continually working with tools and are 
a master of trades. 

27. Large. — Are a good mechanic, can work at almost 
any trade without much practice; you might almost be called 
the master of trades: can make almost anything; are good in 
handling machinery, and devote a great deal of your time to 
that study; can make things with but a scanty supply of tools 
to work with; enjoy handling tools so well that you are 
working at something almost all the time. 

27. Average. — Are quite a mechanic but would do about 
as well at any common labor; can hande tools well after hav¬ 
ing a great deal of practice; enjoy handling tools at times, 
but do not like to work with them continually; are very de¬ 
sirous to work among machinery, also have a liking to do 
other work; could be a good workman at one trade after a 
great deal of practice, for it does not come natural to you. 

27. Small. — Are awkward with tools; cannot handle them 
to any advantage unless you have a great deal of practice; 
can hardily make anything in good workmanship-like order, 
although you have all the tools necessary; would never become 
a good mechanic though you would work at one trade all your 
life; do not enjoy working around machinery and will avoid 
that kind of labor if you can. 

27. Very Small. — Are no mechanic whatever, cannot make 
a mechanical piece of work in good workmanship-like order; 
are very, very awkward with tools; could not make a good 
piece of work, although you had all the tools requisite for the 
accomplishment; you do not enjoy working with tools at all; 
would sooner work at common labor; you could not learn one 
trade well enough to make a good living at it, if you worked 
at it all your life; you do not enjoy handling machinery 
at all. 


45 


28. COMPARISON. 


28. Very Large .— Reasoning; illustration; comparing one 
thing with another; you are excellent in comparing different 
things before you give a decision, such as comparing one 
witness with another before you feel like deciding on the 
case; if you illustrate something, you are always comparing 
it with others, as farmers, carpenters, stone-cutters or work¬ 
men of any kind; would not give a decision as to which Pres¬ 
ident you thought deserved the greatest honor unless you could 
compare one with the other; the way you gain your knowledge 
is by comparing things. 

28. Large .— You possess a great deal of this faculty; are 
not likely to indorse nor condemn a man until you have com¬ 
pared his case with some other case similar to it; you are not 
likely to plunge into any large undertaking until you have 
compared it with some other man’s case of like nature; it 
is hard for an agent to induce you to buy something, for you 
are apt to watch him very closely and compare his language 
with that of a swindler you have heard before. 

28. Average .— You are very capable in comparing one 
thing with another, but at times make up your mind too 
quickly; nevertheless, you are led into a trap once in a while; 
you like to hear the two sides of a question before you give 
a decision, but at times you decide before having heard them 
both; at times you run chances on a small deal before you 
give the matter a good comparison, but not so when a large 
deal is under consideration. 

28. Small .— You do not compare one thing with another 
very much, for often you do not see what trouble you are en¬ 
countering until you are in it, or, in other words, until it is 
too late; if a man were to ask you what country is best for 
the common folk, you would be apt to decide upon a certain 
country without comparing it much with other countries; 
should a man sell you a horse and tell you the animal is 
worth so much, you would be apt to take his word for it, 
without comparing the horse in question with other horses 
and their values. 

28. Very Small .— You run heedlessly into difficulties; do 
not compare enough one thing with another; you are apt to 


46 


decide on a question too soon; if you were to hear one side 
of a case, you would be ready to give a decision without hear¬ 
ing the other side; if a man were to ask you which Pres¬ 
ident deserved the greatest honor, and you had read of only 
one, you would be apt to give that one the decision, without 
comparing him with others; an agent could easily persuade 
you to buy something that you did not need, for you would 
not compare his talk with the smooth talk of others; you 
give a subject a quick thought, and then come to a sudden 
conclusion, without realizing what you are doing, until it is 
too late.

Note. — Remember, reader, the descriptions of the organs 
that are given in this book only show what credit you can give 
the organs when reading combinations. Without the use of 
combinations a great deal of any one’s disposition cannot be 
told. The value of the organ, as given in this book, must first 
be learned, before you can read combinations. 

The reason I mention these facts so often in this book is, 
because Phrenology is yet a new study; it is only in its in¬ 
fant days and is so easily misunderstood and denounced by 
some people because they do not know the Science. 


47 


29. CAUSALITY. 

29. Very Large .— Planning to know things from cause to 
effect; you are in great anxiety to know the cause of anything 
that occurs; you are greatly interested to know what would 
be the effect if you could really make this earth stop revolv¬ 
ing, or if you could cause another planet to come in contact 
with ours; occasionally your mind wonders what would be 
the result if some object that could not be stopped would 
come in contact with another object that could not be moved; 
you enjoy spending a great deal of your time studying on such 
subjects as these; you do not undertake any great task with¬ 
out thinking over every detail, from the beginning to the end. 

29. Large .— You enjoy greatly to know things from the 
cause to the effect; you would not like to join a mob that 
is about to hang a man unless you first found out what the 
real cause was and what the result would be; you would not 
be likely to endorse for a man until you knew the cause 
of his being in that condition and what the effect would be 
after you had done him the favor; you look up matters very 
closely before going ahead. 

29. Average .— You enjoy to know things from the cause 
to the effect, but at times will step into difficulties without 
giving the subject sufficient thought; are at times easily per¬ 
suaded by a salesman to buy something that you do not really 
need; nevertheless, at other times, you do not purchase so 
readily; you wish to look up things from cause to effect, but 
do not feel like giving it any unnecessary thought. 

29. Small .— Study the subject but little as to knowing 
everything from the cause to the effect; should a friend say 
to you, “ Come with me and help me fight out my troubles,” 
you would be apt to give a decision without knowing what 
the cause of the trouble was, and what the result would be; 
you are likely to venture into matters not thinking what the 
outcome might be until it is almost too late. 

29. Very Small .— You plunge into difficulties without 
realizing what you are doing, until you feel the effect; you 
seldom think of looking up a subject from the beginning to 
the end, or from cause to effect; if a man would ask you 
to do him a favor you would decide at once, not thinking 
about the cause of his wanting you or what the result 
would be; you make up your mind so quickly, that, after 
you have decided, you often wish you had not done so; a sales¬ 
man could easily persuade you to buy something that you did 
not really need; a friend could easily persuade you to do 
things that afterwards you wished you had not done. 

48 


30. EVENTUALITY. 


30. Very Large .— Memory; to remember facts and events; 
you are noted to remember historical facts after reading them 
but once; you easily commit to memory anything taken from 
a book; whatever you read you can remember well and talk 
on such subjects at any time; you are excellent in remember¬ 
ing anything that is taught to the public at large; are an ef¬ 
ficient scholar in school; very quick to answer questions if 
you commit them from a book. 

30. Large .— Can remember very well anything that you 
read; are good in committing things to memory; anything 
that is in print is easy for you to learn; can remember dates 
of special happenings, the names of towns and of people, the 
prices of merchandise at different seasons of the year; you 
desire greatly to get knowledge through reading; you may 
become educated in engineering, blacksmithing or even agri¬ 
culture simply by reading books, but you would be lacking if 
practical work were required. 

30. Average .— You can learn very well from a book, but 
can learn otherwise just as well; you like to spend a great 
deal of your time learning out of books; you also enjoy to 
learn by observation and various other ways; you can remem¬ 
ber dates and names of towns when traveling or through con¬ 
versation just as well as out of a book. 

30. Small .— Are a poor scholar in school as far as book¬ 
learning is concerned; are not efficient in history or com¬ 
mitting anything to memory; can remember dates fairly well 
if something has happened to you on that very day; what 
you have learned by observation you can remember quite 
well. 

30. Very Small .— Can remember scarcely anything that 
you learn out of a book; are a poor scholar in history; can 
commit very little to memory that is in printed form; almost 
all that you know you have learned by observation and actual 
experience, which things you seem to remember ordinarily 
well; you do not care to learn from a book or even a lecture; 
it is very hard for you to give a teacher an answer exactly 
as it is printed. 


49 


3i. LOCALITY. 

31. Very Large .— Locate; can remember the location of 
things; you are extremely good in telling the location of a 
town or country after traveling through it; are good in ar¬ 
ranging a town or locating a railroad; can easily learn to 
locate a gold mine or coal mine; in war times you can soon 
discover what the enemy wishes to do simply by the move¬ 
ments they make; can find what country they belong to by their 
ways and actions; have an excellent knowledge of judging 
what a country is, only by reading about it or by hearing 
some one tell about it; enjoy traveling; make a good ex¬ 
plorer, for you seldom get lost in a strange place. 

31. Large .— Are quite good in locating a town, and ar¬ 
ranging where its parks and public buildings ought to be; are 
good in laying out a park to make it appear beautiful; can 
select a good location for business purposes, so as to give an 
equal opportunity for each business; in hunting you can lo¬ 
cate the game by the temperature of the day, etc.; would be 
quite good in locating railroads, mines, etc. 

31. Average .— You are but average in this talent; you 
could locate a town or railroad after a great deal of practice; 
you would have to have considerable experience before you 
would be efficient in locating any kind of mines; you are not 
very capable of telling the location of a country after travel¬ 
ing through it; you could not form much of an idea of a 
country simply by hearing some one tell about it. 

31. Small .— You are inefficient in locating a town; you 
possess but little of this ability; if you were sent to locate 
some mines, though you were well educated, the chances are 
you would make a failure of it; you cannot form a very good 
idea of a country by only reading about it, neither can you 
form an opinion by hearing a man tell of it. 

31. Very Small.— You possess but little of this quality ; 
cannot tell the location of countries after you have traveled 
through them; are not able to locate a town, a park, or even 
a place of habitation; cannot form any idea whatever of a 
country by only reading about it or hearing some one tell of 
it; you are a poor checker player, for you cannot locate your 
opponent’s ideas by the way he moves his men; are likely to 
get lost even in a place where you have traveled several times. 


50 


32. TIME. 


32. Very Large ,— Recollection of duration and telling 
the time of the day; you are an excellent time keeper in music, 
and in keeping time in an orchestra you are very efficient; 
know when it is time to tell a joke as well as when not to 
tell one; can keep good time in a march; when you make a 
date you like to be there right on time, not a moment too 
late nor too soon; can tell the time of the day almost as 
well without a time-piece as with one; you have a time for 
everything. 

32. Large .— You enjoy to have everything quite well on 
time; you always like to get up about the same time every 
day and have your meals regularly; you are good in keeping 
time in music or in marching; always wish to be at a place 
in time, not too soon nor too late; are a fair judge in telling 
the time of the day without a time-piece; you like to have a 
certain time for everything. 

32. Average .— You enjoy to have a time for everything, 
if it is not a hindrance to you; you like to get up at a certain 
time each morning if it is not to your disadvantage; you can¬ 
not judge the time of the day unless you have considerable 
practice; you like to tell the time better on a time-piece; you 
can keep time in music very well as long as you enjoy to play, 
but after you are tired it is very difficult for you to keep 
correct time. 

32. Small .— Have no regular time for doing your work; 
if you have made an engagement you care but little if you 
are there on time or not; are not good in telling the time of 
the day without a time-piece; cannot keep good time in music 
or while marching; you do not know when it is time to tell 
a joke. 

32. Very Small .— Have no regular time for anything; are 
no good at all in keeping time in music; are never on time 
except it be accidentally; cannot tell the time of the day with¬ 
out a time-piece; when filling an engagement you are seldom 
there on time, either you are too soon or too late; have no 
regular time for anything unless circumstances compel you to 
be prompt and regular. 


51 


33. TUNE. 


33. Very Large .— You enjoy music exceedingly well; 
could be an excellent player or teacher; you enjoy to hum 
or whistle a tune; you love to be in a crowd and sing, espe¬ 
cially when they all sing in harmony; you love to hear the 
tramping of feet and the beating of drums when people are 
marching. 

33. Large .— You enjoy very well to play musical instru¬ 
ments and would make a good musician without a great deal 
of practice; you would go a great distance to hear a good 
band play; you enjoy to see frolicking, jumping or even ca¬ 
rousing, if everything is in harmony; love to have music at 
home. 

33. Average .— You are but average on this talent; can 
enjoy music well, but are contented with other entertainments 
as well; enjoy to play instruments very well, but will not give 
it a great deal of your time unless it is greatly to your in¬ 
terest; can be interested very well in singing and playing for 
a time, if everything is in harmony. 

33. Small .— Possess but little talent for music; will not 
make a player unless you have a great deal of practice, even 
then you will not be very good; care but little to hear music, 
would rather choose some other enjoyment. 

33. Very Small .— You possess but very little of this tal¬ 
ent, almost none; would not make a player at all; can hardly 
tell one tune from another after hearing them played; care 
nothing to have music in the family. 


52 


34. INDIVIDUALITY. 


34. Very Large .— Observation; to look deeply into things; 
you possess an excellent talent for noticing things; go deeply 
into any subject; if you were traveling with horse and wagon 
you would notice the people that you were with so closely 
that you could tell the costumes of the people in the next 
county or state before you got there; you could be a good 
hypnotist; you love to gain knowledge by observation; you 
detect and notice things that others are not likely to observe 
at all. 

34. Large .— You notice a great deal of what is going 
on in the world; you are interested in learning by observation, 
and spend a great deal of your time along this line of study, 
which causes you to wander about; consequently you enjoy 
to travel; love to sit down in the evening and gaze at the 
stars to see what you can learn; you look deeply into all 
subjects. 

34. Average. — You notice a great many things at times, 
but again you do not; you go deeply into a subject if you 
think it is to your interest; if not, you give it but little 
thought; you enjoy looking at the stars and notice especially 
the attractive functions which they have, but do not give 
them any extended thought. 

34. Small .— Take little interest in learning by observa¬ 
tion; take notice of scarcely anything; you look about you 
but you do not scrutinize nor look deeply into subjects as they 
occur before your vision; there are many things about others 
that you do not notice, that would be of great interest and 
benefit to you. 

34. Very Small .— Possess but little of this ability; learn 
hardly anything or nothing by observation; you would per¬ 
haps not notice anything in your pathway until you stumbled 
over it; do not think deeply upon any subjects at all; look at 
the stars occasionally, but not to learn a lesson; it would not 
profit you much to do as the book agent did who sat on a 
box to notice the people as they passed, to ascertain an idea 
of the habits of that neighborhood. 


53 


35 - SIZE. 


35. Very Large .— Measuring by the eye, you are very 
good at giving the size of anything simply by sight, such as 
the width, breadth or thickness; the size of a horse, the height 
of a tree, and judging the distance on a prairie, or in a hilly 
country. 

35. Large .— You are quite efficient in measuring anything 
by sight; can tell the height or thickness of a tree, as well as 
the size of a horse; you can readily tell how many bushels 
there are in a load of apples, or how much hay in a stack, etc. 

35. Average .— You do not possess a great deal of this 
ability, although you are a fair judge at giving the size of an 
object, as the width, breadth and thickness, but you cannot 
depend altogether upon your measurements by sight; your lack 
of this ability will be a drawback to you if you work at any¬ 
thing where you must judge distances or height, angles or 
thicknesses by sight, unless you have a great deal of practice. 

35. Small .— You are not able to judge by sight very well, 
such as to tell how much a bin will hold or how many bushels 
in a load, or even the height, width, or breadth of an object; 
you cannot judge the distance between two objects across the 
land, as a soldier in war time is supposed to judge how far 
away the enemy is, that he might know how much to elevate 
his gun. 

35. Very Small .— You have scarcely any knowledge of 
judging the size of anything, as width, breadth or thickness; 
you are deficient in judging how far apart two objects may be, 
that are at a distance; you cannot rely upon your vision for 
measuring quantity or space. 


54 


36. BECOMINGNESS. 


36. Very Large .— Balancing; control of motion; you have 
a;n excellent, becoming walk; you do not appear to be awk¬ 
ward at all; it seems to come natural for you to climb, ride 
horses or skate; when beginning to work at a trade, the swing 
you have and the way you balance yourself make it appear as 
though you had worked at the trade for some time. 

36. Large .— Apparently not awkward; have a good swing 
as far as conducting yourself to your labor; you are not likely 
to fall while walking; are not seemingly awkward in climbing, 
running or skating; you have a way of handling your body 
which makes all work appear easy for you. 

36. Average .— It does not come quite natural for you to 
walk, run or skate in a becoming way, but after having a little 
practice it is very fitting; having begun to work at a trade, 
you soon pick up the swing and motion of handling your body 
in a way that is becoming to the work you are doing. 

36. Small .—You are apparently awkward in your walk 
and in the way you conduct yourself at your work; after you 
have a great deal of practice in a certain work it then appears 
quite natural to you; awkwardness and unbecomingness to 
your labor will show itself with you. 

36. Very Small .— You are really awkward in appearance; 
it seems as though you were ready to fall when walking; 
while working at a trade it seems never to become natural 
to you; your motion and the swing you use at work seem as 
though work did not come natural to you, for it appears to be 
difficult for you to work.

wise you have ho desire to behold them; you like to spend a 
great deal of your time in painting and drawing. 

37. Large .—You are very good in harmonizing colors, and 
would make a good painter by having a little practice; you 
would enjoy very well to work at this art; you love to see 
flowers and paintings of any kind adorn a home. 

37. Average .—Are quite efficient in matching colors and 
making them appear harmoniously; could be an ordinary 
painter by considerable practice; you enjoy seeing beautiful 
paintings but are as well contented without seeing any great 
pieces of art. 

37. Small .—Do not possess much ability to match colors so 
as to make them appear neat and becoming; you would never 
be a good painter, though you worked at that trade all your 
life. 

37. Very Small .—You possess but little of this ability, 
scarcely any; you are somewhat color blind, for you can not 
tell the different shades and colors; you would never become 
a painter at all; you do not enjoy to look at a fine painting 
and think of the wonderful skill it took to produce such a 
grand piece of work. 


56 


38. ORDER. 


38. Very Large. —Arrangement; everything in its place; 
you want everything in order, everything in its proper place 
so when you need an article you know just where to find it; 
you are terribly disturbed when you see your working tools 
out of their proper places, and at times put in more work than 
is necessary just to keep them in order; in music you wish 
to hear everything in order and accord and have everything 
directly to the point. 

38. Large .—You possess a great deal of this talent; 
want things in order; you can not work well when your tools 
are all scattered about so that you. have to look for them; 
you like to have a place for everything; in music you love to 
have all the instruments in good order, and to have each one 
play corectly and orderly. 

38. Average .—At times you take a notion to prepare a place 
and put everything in order, while at other times you let 
things lie around and put nothing in its place; in music you 
have good order at times, but at other times you care very 
little about it. 

38. Small .—You possess but little of this ability; you put 
scarcely anything where it belongs and have no particular place 
for your working tools; are rather reckless in keeping things 
in order, especially in music, etc. 

38. Very Small .—You have your working tools lying around 
to such an extent that it is really a hindrance to you, and at 
times it takes you twice as long to find them than if you had 
them in their proper places; you do not even keep your tools 
in such order as to make it more easy and convenient for you 
to work with them; you do not keep your musical instruments 
in order, and have no order with your music. 


57 


39. CALCULATION. 


39. Very Large. —Reckoning; mental arithmetic; you are 
exceedingly good in figuring up sums in your mind;, arith¬ 
metic is an easy study for you and with a little practice you 
would be able to add up several columns at one time; you are 
very efficient in figuring up sums; you can readily figure out 
the cost of different articles, etc., in your mind while working 
at something else. 

39. Large .—Are good in figuring up sums in your mind 
without the use of pencil and paper; with a great deal of prac¬ 
tice you may be able to figure up several columns at one time; 
you can not figure one thing very well in your mind while 
working at something else. 

39. Average .—You can figure up sums in your mind ordi¬ 
narily well, but would rather use a pencil and paper to work 
out the problem; arithmetic is not very easy for you, yet it is 
not really difficult, for you are average on this function. 

39. Small .—You are not very efficient in figuring out any¬ 
thing in your mind, you invariably must have a slate and 
pencil unless it is something that you are accustomed to fig¬ 
ure, then you can do ordinarily well by the use of your mind 
only; you can not figure anything mentally while working at 
something else. 

39. Very Small .—You possess but very little of this ability; 
you are deficient in figuring out problems mentally; you must 
use slate and pencil for the least example; there is no need 
of your trying to do any kind of figuring while working at 
something else. 


58 


40. FORM. 

40. Very Large .—Recollection of shape; remembering faces; 
are extra good in remembering something by its form or 
shape; you seldom forget the appearance of a man’s face or of 
an animal after they have once attracted your attention; are 
good in telling whether people are related to each other or 
not, simply by their faces. 

40. Large .—Are good in remembering faces; will always 
know a man by his shape or form; after seeing a man’s picture 
you can easily detect him. 

40. Average .—You possess a fair knowledge of recognizing 
people by their faces after they have once attracted your at¬ 
tention ; are quite efficient in telling to what relationship a 
man belongs simply by his shape and form. 

40. Small .—You possess but little of this ability; you are 
not good in remembering a man from seeing his face but once, 
or knowing him by his shape; were you to sell your horse, you 
would not be likely to recognize it if you should happen to see 
it some time or other after the lapse of a year or so. 

40. Very Small .—Have scarcely any recollection of faces 
after seeing them but once, even if they have attracted your 
attention; can not very well recollect any object by its shape 
or form. 


59

When the Organ of Language is large it pushes the eyeball forward. 

41. Very Large .—Expression by words; the learning of 
languages; you are very good in learning foreign languages; 
you can express yourself very well in words so that any one 
else might understand what you mean to say; you can tell all 
you know about anything; it comes natural for you to use 
proper language; you can tell a story in an interesting manner 
by the way you use language; it is easy for you to acquire a 
knowledge of language. 

41. Large .—You are good in learning foreign languages

in words what you know about anything and can so express 
yourself as to make it easy for others to understand you; by 
your way of expression it is interesting to almost every one 
who listens; you enjoy to spend a great deal of your time in 
learning other languages. 

41. Average .—You have considerable talent to learn vari¬ 
ous languages; you enjoy to give the study some of your time 
but not to any excess; you can very well manage to tell in 
words what you wish to have people know, and you express 
yourself quite well; you wish to use good language but do not 
take any extra pains in accomplishing your desire. 

41. Small .—It is difficult for you to learn foreign languages 
or to speak them correctly unless you have a great deal of 
practice; it is hard for you to express yourself in words so 
that people can clearly understand what you mean; it is rather 
hard for you to even learn your own native language. 

41. Very Small .—You possess but little of this ability; you 
are not quick to learn foreign languages or speak them prop¬ 
erly; you can hardly express yourself in your own native lan¬ 
guage so as to make it interesting and easily understood; you 
can hardly tell what you know about anything; you are not a
